Ongoing harassment/Doxxing threats

[AnnaRosa]

First - I want to be very clear: harassment is not okay in any form and if what OP described occurred then it was not funny and whoever did it was completely out of line.

But there is another perspective to this and OP is leaving some details out.

1) OP has a long and known history of holding grudges and verbally attacking others both outright and passive-aggressively. He has targeted members and friends of those members of the Mateus community, some of which were formerly his friends, not just for perceived sleights but also for defending the people from or even just choosing to associate with people he has had conflicts with.
2) OP has a history of bragging about getting away with targeted psts as well as bragging about getting people banned, kicking from NN, etc.
3) OP has publicly posted information that could identify his rl information on other public forums. Any one of the people OP has been abusive to in this game or others could have trivially obtained this information. It is wildly inappropriate to assume that a particular person did this and accuse them in a public forum when many others had both the means and the motive.
4) OP has himself worked around blacklists by creating alt characters.
Numerous people can back up these claims and have posted screenshots of this individual engaging in this behavior in Discord channels as a warning to others. He is becoming known on other servers in the Crystal DC because of this behavior. And there are many tickets submitted to SE illustrating this behavior by myself and others. Screenshots can be doctored but numerous people have similar stories and would be willing to share after seeing this post.

This is not the forum to publicly post screenshots or continue a feud but people who have been a victim of OP's harassment deserve a voice. I am not defending the actions of whoever ordered pizza for the OP and scared his wife at all. But harassment, no matter who does it, should not be tolerated and the OP should be held to the same standards as he expects others to be held to.

I feel somewhat disinclined to trust someone who just made an account here for the purpose of badmouthing the OP.

So you'd trust only one side then? Because who knows, could be telling the truth.

This probably doesn't help at all but I just ignore trolls no matter how persistent they may seem. If you don't feed them then they eventually starve to death and will go look for food elsewhere. It's easier said than done especially with an extremely dedicated troll who can keep it up for months or years and has lots of friends but I've yet to find a troll who's powers of persistence can outlost my powers of ignoring the @#%$% out of them. Don't engage, don't talk to, don't look at, heck don't even think about them. Just go about your business in game, turn off chat if you have to. Just ignore them. Don't give them ammo, and never ever give people your personal information. I don't share anything about myself online. Not my age, where I live, what country I live in and most certainly not my non existent FB or twitter pages lol. Even if I had them I wouldn't share them. I'm not here for other people's likes. I'm here to relax and have fun.

I already have, because the individual in question decided to demonstrate their reach by ordering pizza COD under my character's name. Scared the hell out of my wife. But that is good advice, thank you. Unfortunately, there wasn't much the local authorities could do on this end without the individual in question actually showing up to my house.

Gonna have to call BS on this about what you claim the authorities told you. Having been through an ordeal like this with a friend and helping them every step of the way through it, the authorities never said anything remotely like this. They directed us to the department that could best assist us, but they didn't say "sorry, nothing we can do" or anything remotely similar. Since it's in regards to a legal matter, no police in the USA would tell you this. If you're outside the USA, I can't really speak much on that. But in the USA, the police would not brush this off.

I'm more inclined to believe barafox than I am someone who claims that the police said "we can't do anything". Fastest way to find a mountain of BS is if someone says "police said we can't help" when it comes to something like harassment.

No, I wouldn't trust only one side. But the forums have a habit with these kinds of threads. 99% of the time, if there's a "GOTCHA" post in a thread like this, the forums usually go all in with that post and never question if THAT person is lying or just straight making stuff up. Which, if I may be a bit brutally honest here, barafox's post seems like a load of crap and seems very tuned for the explicit purpose of undermining this thread. The fact it is his ONLY post, also makes me sit here and question its validity and possibly even question if they are said harasser.

Also, If the OP is truly so well know and feared for being this horrible, bragging, harasser and that there are so many people who know this to the point screenshots are passed around regularly to warn others of OP's nature as barafox says he is. Well then I ask, where are these people? Surely they would come surging forth to call OP out if he's truly so well known for being like this. Or the forums would just laugh him off the stage because they know he is this horrible harasser.

And then there's JackHachet's post, cap stoned with this little tidbit.

Man, I've been a part of the Mateus global community for the better part of 2 years, and I don't ever recall the OP having baggage. He's always been an upstanding guy in every circumstances I've seen him. IN TWO YEARS worth of time. So I'm not quite sure where you're getting your info.

So yeah, I'm more inclined to believe OP right now then the very questionable assertions that OP is some horrible uber troll, that is so infamously well known that entire discords for Maetus, and apparently this is slowly growing to be an entire data center (A data center I am on!) knows about his behavior and are actively warning everyone they can of OP's behavior, from someone who's first and only post seems to be here to undermine the thread. Yeah, gonna say that this 'other side' sounds a little iffy to me.

Is there some things in OP's post that make me question him? Yes, absolutely! As some have pointed out, there's a few things in regards to the authority's responses to this that seem off but, this doesn't mean I'm not going to outright think OP is lying completely, nor am I going to instantly trust the "GOTCHA" post as some seem to have here.

That's just my two cents though.

And also fearing that they'd get reported and banned on their main.

Anyhow, OP said he contacted GMs in-game and got no response. But no where does he provide anything to show that. Because it sounds weird that he didn't get any response from GMs regarding issues like these if they were true, now that we have another side to the problem coming up.

I've had many robotic talks with GMs over different flavors of harassment. OP's claims have a heart to them, but are ultimately questionable based on my own experiences. Just having a single post from another side doesn't help, especially without a bit more explanation outside pointing fingers. But. It's at least something.

I didn't read everything but I read that they sent pizza to the guy's house? Why you gotta do the pizza delivery guy like that
